Toyota will be exhibiting a range of electrified vans at UK Construction Week, taking place at ExCel London from 7 to 9 May. The display will include the Proace Electric and Proace City Electric vans, as well as the hybrid-powered Corolla Commercial. Toyota’s new Prius plug-in hybrid car will also be present to appeal to site managers and specialists.

The event offers Toyota an opportunity to highlight its multi-powertrain approach, focusing on electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid options for light commercial vehicle (LCV) users.

Proace City Electric

The Proace City Electric shares similar features with the Proace Electric but in a smaller footprint. Available in two body lengths, it offers up to 4.4m³ of load volume and a maximum payload of 759kg. It also benefits from the Smart Cargo system.

Both Proace Electric models now feature an updated 136hp (100kW) powertrain, delivering a WLTP-certified driving range of up to 213 miles. Fast charging at up to 100kW DC allows an 80% charge in around 30 minutes.

Proace Electric

The Proace Electric is Toyota’s battery-electric medium-sized van, available in medium and long body lengths. It offers up to 6.6m³ of load space, with additional room available through the Smart Cargo system, which allows for the transport of longer items. The maximum payload is 1,375kg.

Designed for urban use, the medium-length model has a 6.2m turning radius and a 1.92m height, making it compatible with most car parks.

Corolla Commercial

The Corolla Commercial is a hybrid-powered compact van based on the Corolla Touring Sports passenger car. Manufactured in Burnaston, Derbyshire, it replaces the rear seats with a rubber-lined 1,326-litre load area and includes a full metal bulkhead.

Standard equipment includes dual-zone air conditioning, heated front seats, and Toyota’s Safety Sense driver assistance package. The 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports smartphone integration.

Warranty and Support

Toyota offers its vehicles – including LCVs – with up to 10 years or 100,000 miles of warranty cover, provided the vehicle is serviced at approved Toyota workshops once the initial three-year manufacturer warranty expires.

All Toyota Professional LCVs are sold with five years of roadside assistance. Toyota’s commercial vehicle service network includes more than 100 specialist retailers in the UK, offering business-focused support such as flexible appointments and fixed-price servicing.
